Mullen fired at UF
- Thread starter Knucklehank1
- Start date
Why would he leave Purdue or why would Florida be interested? I think they’d be interested because he’s a very good coach.
Ok. Since you seem piped into the Florida inner workings, who are they targeting?
You don't have to be piped into anything to know that Brohm is way down their list. I think you are the one piped into something. Anyway, Kiffen and Cristobal immediately come to mind. I could even see them going after Freeze. Florida don't care about his history.
Kiffin seems like a fit. I’d think Cristobal would be the target for Miami if they part with Diaz. Btw…not sure why you are bring snarky.
It is going to be really interesting. The speed of which coaches are let go is wild. The speed of which players turn on staffs is amazing. If a team wants a coach fired they can make it happen very quickly.
The coaching movement is going to be interesting but the player movement will be more fun to watch.

Budman doesn't mean anything by it.
Brohm just has more work to do at Purdue before the big time. IMO.
Brohm brings out the worst in some Cards fans.
From everything I've seen him do at Purdue, I would think he is right there with other coaches being looked at from big programs.
It will be interesting, especially with Cards fans if he doesn't leave Purdue. There are several openings better than Purdue right now so him tuning down opportunities would be very telling.

Last week I defended Grantham after his firing, not because I like him, or a result of his own performance at UF. He was the scapegoat for multiple internal issues within the Gators FB Program, and Mullen was responsible for both terminations, his and Todd’s. Fans in Gainesville predicted after the loss to UK.
Jeff Brohm is a really good OC, and an exceptional QB coach; a great deal of which he learned from Oscar, Howard and Bobby Petrino. Middle of the road success in the BIG is not the resume UF is looking for.

I can see Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss and I think it is Kiffin’s plan. He never stays at a program long enough to know whether he is a next level coach or not. I heard on radio that Miami will be letting Diaz go. I would go after Hugh Freeze the guy is a great coach just don’t let him have a company credit card.
I’ve looked at articles from Sporting News, Yahoo and The Athletic. The common names I’ve seen mentioned are Lane, Billy Napier, Matt Campbell and Mark Stoops. None of those are sure-fire at all.
There are no sure fire hires in this environment. Maybe the most challenging environment to coach in at these blue bloods.
Look at UT, USC, Texas, LSU and now Flordia. Finding the right guy is very difficult thing to do. They have all missed on coaches multiple times even with all their resources. It is crazy.

These searches always start with the big names, and if the timing is right the search ends early. Sometimes the big names just take the opportunity to milk their current boss for a raise.
Their last 3 hires are from Miss St/Colorado St/Internal DC first time HC.
Not much of a wow new hire list last few times.

I’m not in favor of the location but if we beat UK, excuse me, when we beat UK, I vote for the New ERA Pinstripe Bowl against, you guessed it, Purdue Boilermakers. I think there would be some local interest in that one.
The combination of Covid, the excessive practice of Transfers and schools making quick HC changes has made college football, basketball and to some degree baseball unpredictable. So many of these recent HC hires like Diaz and Mullen have a low chance of success when competing with less competent HCs who have remained in place during this turmoil.
Stoops and UK have been the beneficiary of the coaching turnover at Vanderbilt, Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, LSU and Tennessee. The Stoops era Cats did not beat all of these SEC schools with regularity, but the pattern is clear; a large measure of UK‘s improvement in the SEC has come as a result of these HC changes.
Franklin at Vandy is the perfect example, as he demonstrated his ability to take the proverbial SEC DOORMAT to a competitive position and challenged UK on an equal level.
If Satterfield stays at UL, we will turn the table on UK.

Less than 10 percent.
You never know with coaches but he has good momentum heading into the off-season. If he interviews or even has his name legitimately come up this year he will lose all momentum. It would put Vince in a really tough spot.

Yeah, we were ranked #16 at the time and it took late game heroics by Lamar to win by a TD.
Satt having his name mentioned isn’t an issue, but how he handles it will be.
LOL, a few weeks ago everyone thought Louisville was gonna FARRR that sonofabeyitch. Sports are funny and this year so unpredictable for the reasons 233 mentioned. Thankful for some apparent stability...but if UK is beaten Satterfield's name will come up, legit or not. Lots of openings
True.
We beat UK and get some more hype, with Malik back next year we'll have a fun season. Then I bet he sells high at the end of next season with Malik's big year, in my opinion. That's what coaches do when they have a great player, they leave town.
Partly the reason for Bobby quitting was the fact that he noticed NOBODY was calling him. Like during the Lamar year he got the praise/love, but he just wasn't ever going to go to a big time program. This was a guy that coached NFL and had a SEC program like Arkansas in the top 10, he really wanted the top.
But look what happened during his time at WKU/UL. sUcKs didn't interview him. Tennessee had openings and never contacted. Florida didn't even sniff him. I didn't even hear his name involved in lower tier jobs like SC. He was damaged goods and he wasn't happy. HE always had that next step and that next thing he was chasing, but he was selfish and it was more about job status than just solely results or building a program. He reached an Orange Bowl at UL the first time and the Lamar team was hot, but I think he might have just realized he peaked. A guy that constantly moved up, just really didn't have a chance to move up. He had money and success, so he didn't know how to operate.
Personally, you want a guy that's in the hunt. To get an elite job, you have to prove you can win at a high level at a lower program. John L, Bobby 1.0, and Charlie all were great here because they weren't satisfied, but fell off. So it could be a good thing if Scott wants that next job if it means he's dedicated to a high level of success and will work so hard to get us there, but if he's comfortable?
Zero chance at Florida.
But, if Cutcliff really does retire from Duke (Which seems imminent). Satt grew up 10 miles from Durham. I've heard his parents and family still live around there.
Do you think he'll handle that interview better than the one at South Carolina?
One thing I’ve learned is never say never. What you’ve heard about Satt and his family: confirmed. Lastly, if he chooses to interview at Duke, he couldn’t possibly handle it any worse than he did last year. If he goes, he goes. If Stoops gets another job, which, seems unlikely for a variety of reasons, which one of his families does he take with him?
Life is so funny sometimes. I had a long conversation with another customer in line at a huge pharmacy today. If you’ve been in these long lines, you can cover many things. Great conversation about this and that.
It wasn’t until we met up again in the parking lot side by side loading our groceries, and the Cards came up again that I realized who I was talking to. I asked if they had heard the rumor, didn’t even need to repeat it and we both agreed this would not be in the best interest for either team. So I’m still at nooooo!
Satterfield is demonstrating that he is an exceptional HC, who can navigate past some of the most challenging circumstances. He is young and well respected by his colleagues and his performance at ASU along with what he is accomplishing here at UL is most persuasive.
I am a UL fan first, so when coaches and players leave the University, my inclination is to focus on “next one up”. Maturity and experience teaches that “bystanders“ like us fans, have absolutely no influence or control over what these coaches and/or players decide to do ……. we just speculate.
I am sure that Vince, just like his predecessor Tom Jurich has a list of candidates who could fit this opening if indeed Scott decides to move on.
I expect the rumors will start as soon as Sunday, following the results of the UK/UL football game; particularly for whichever HC wins.

I totally agree with 233's comments. Regardless if CSS stays or goes we are a much better football program because of his leadership over the past three seasons. Our kids play with confidence and passion win or lose. Just think where our program was when CSS came here after the CBP disaster. Hopefully, IF CSS does elect to move on our AD has some good prospects to replace him. UofL is a very good place for a coach and hopefully the next coach will want to stay here. We have all the assets to get even stronger as a football program. Great central USA location, outstanding conference and our facilities are excellent plus our fanbase is strong and getting stronger.
GO CARDS!!!
GO CARDS!!!
Looks like Florida is targeting Billy Napier.
He has been impressive in the Sun Belt but….
